General Information On Propecia

It may be recommended to you by your physician to buy Propecia (Finasteride) to treat male pattern baldness on the anterior and vertex mid scalp area. This drug prevents the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Male pattern hair loss or baldness is defined as the thinning of hair and a receding hairline which could finally result in total balding. By decreasing the amount of dihydrotestosterone in the body, this drug increases the rate of hair regrowth while reducing the rate of hair loss. It is important to note that this drug only regulates hair growth on the scalp, and its usage does not affect hair growth on other body parts.

Side Effects for Propecia

Side effects of Propecia include decreased libido, ejaculation disorder, erectile dysfunction, impotence, breast enlargement, breast tenderness, and rash. Many men may experience a lack of interest in sex while not being able to have an orgasm.

Dizziness, weakness, headache, runny nose, swelling in the hands and feet, and the feeling of passing out are other common side effects of Propecia. In certain cases, you may also experience a serious allergic reaction to the drug, which is marked by severe dizziness, rash, swelling of the face, throat and tongue, as well as hives accompanied by a breathing difficulty.

It is essential to understand that this is not a comprehensive list of side effects, but only some of the most common known ones. In case you experience any of the above symptoms or experience any kind of unnatural discomfort, it is important to contact your doctor immediately and get medical attention.

Precautions

Propecia should never be administered to or handled by a woman or a child since Finasteride can be absorbed through the skin. Moreover, in case of damaged tablets, absorption is faster, so broken or crushed tablets should be disposed off and not touched.

This drug causes birth defects, so pregnant women should not handle this drug. Any such handling should immediately be followed by washing your hands with soap and water to remove any contamination.

You should notify your doctor about any allergy to Finasteride or any other drug like Dutasteride or any ingredient found in this drug before you buy Propecia.

You should always inform your doctor about your medical history, especially with regard to any liver disease, prostate cancer, stricture of the urethra, bladder muscle disorder, as well as any inability to urinate. Informing your doctor about the above conditions will help him or her prescribe the correct dosage and take other precautions, where required.

Propecia Dosage

Propecia 1mg is the recommended dosage, which is to be taken orally and only once daily. Propecia 1mg can be administered with or without food and should be used for at least three months or more to witness any benefits. Continued usage of this drug after three months should be monitored and evaluated periodically.

Interactions

There is no conclusive clinical evidence regarding interactions of other drugs with Propecia, but this does not mean that there is no such interaction. Thus, in order to ensure complete safety while using this drug, it is important to inform your doctor about any drug usage, both prescription and over the counter, to avoid any risks and complications.
